How often do you buy a new mattress?

They recommend every 8 years. Is yours older?

The number is a tad high. It isn't just the stains that age a mattress, but body fibers released each night. That is what the brownish "stains" on it is. It is years of tiny body fibers (dead skin) released each time you lay on it.
This came from a dermatologist I had once who gave me a lot of advice about using a wash cloth and rinsing it out after each use since there are fibers on it after each use, as well. Much of the fibers come from you head and back, so whenever I dry, I use the towel as a washcloth and change towels after every few showers. Now, my towel has brown fibers on it!
